The Zionists are carrying out a genocide.

Fuck yes.

It’s a very specific group of people who suck like this, and they think they’re the heroes of the story.

These fucking Conservatives desperately need to have their fucking heads kicked in. They’re fucking apes; they don’t understand anything else.

With all the money in politics now, and the fact that the campaigns with the most cash behind them almost always win, our representatives don’t have to be answerable to voters any longer. They just have to be answerable to the people spending the most cash.

Even then, the corporations and foreign entities that fund most of the campaigns right now just throw their cash behind the winners if the person they initially supported loses.

In the minds of people like Leon, you can literally buy elections simply by outspending the candidate you don’t like–and, looking at the statistics, he’s right. Then, even if they lose, they just chuck a bunch of money at the winning candidate. These people have no ethics, no respect for law, and they would rather destroy our institutions than have them work against them. And, unfortunately, they’re so wealthy now that they can, in fact, destroy our institutions.

And this will hit the people hardest who voted for them.

Back in the day, Wells Fargo would intentionally run higher charges first in their cycle so that people couldn’t skirt the edges of overdraft. Like, if someone made a $35 purchase, and three $1 purchases over the same two day period, they would immediately run the $35 purchase and then charge three overdraft fees for each of the $1 purchases instead of running the three $1 purchases first (even if they came first) and then charging a single overdraft fee when the $35 purchase hit.

I believe they got a fine for it.

Fuck no.

Fuck all these motherfuckers.

Fuck, looks like it’s time to start looking at more alternatives to Android phones.

Already got an old one rooted. We need a solid Linux alternative or potentially a European company to start development.

If any of y’all know of a good, usable platform, I’d love to know about it.

Since 2015, the DoL reported a 283% increase in child labor violations; and perhaps more shocking, 28 US states have introduced bills to weaken child labor laws, with 12 of those states enacting those laws since 2021

Project 2025 proposes eliminating protections against hazardous work for children. Specifically, Project 2025 calls on the U.S. Department of Labor to “amend its hazard-order regulations to permit teenage workers access to work in regulated jobs with proper training and parental consent.” In plain English, revising these “hazard-order regulations” means letting teens work in hazardous jobs.

It’s only going to be poor kids working these jobs. We’ve had protections for child labor for the past century, and these fuckers are trying to roll them back.

They are fucking evil.

Kettlebells! Kettlebells are a great tool to have for home workouts. You might want to start with a lighter one–even if you’ve worked out some, you can still wear yourself out with even a 35 lb. kettlebell.

It’s worth keeping in mind that the people who made this decision at Columbia are, themselves, wealthy. They are behaving as wealthy people do–they only respond to power, they only care about power, and they will do ANYTHING to maintain power.

It’s never about non-monetary things with wealthy people. They don’t care about other people, even each other, or about high-falutin’ things like academic freedom or free inquiry or free speech because unless those things bring them more power, more money.

They will sacrifice everything, anything, and anyone to maintain their status and they will ALWAYS bend the knee to anyone with more power, more capital, than they have. They have no investment otherwise. You can’t keep your power if you have any focus other than your own power.

Nothing run by wealthy people is ever safe for the rest of us.
